Hibernation, Squirrels and Skeeviness

A little frost this morning and a freeze tonight. It's possible sometimes to
pretend these things aren't going to happen, and than "Bam" it all happens, as
predicted and let's not talk about snow. Another couple of years there might
even be Alligators in the Green River, a majority of coastal cities under water,
and a colony of Earthlings on Mars doing their very best to get away from it all
in the interests of what I don't know. Still there's always a chance of being
abducted by Aliens.

In coming months I will not only argue that the word "Skeevy" is a perfectly
respectable and accurate description of many of our rulers, I will also suggest
that the quality of "Skeeviness" is a necessary characteristic of the ruling
class of any species that does not hibernate. Bears and Groundhogs for example,
are not skeevy. Interesting however is the distinction between the Grey Squirrel
and the Fox Squirrel, both of which are non-hibernating creatures. And here The
Grey Squirrel is skeevy, the Fox Squirrel is not. Have to think Bernie Sanders
is more like a Fox Squirrel and Clinton II is more like a Grey Squirrel.
